Merchandise rates ,on both the
Northern Pacific aud Manitoba roads
have been reduced from Is to % per
cent. Does anybody think these re-
auctions would have been made, had
| it not been for the agitation caused
by the passage of the interstate COM
merce and other railroad laws? Don't
| find too much fault with recent rail-
road legislation. The benefits are
lust beginning to he made apparent.
Sam Jones unconcIously paid the
newspapers great tribute i'll one OF
his sermons last week when he said:
"Why, those merchants who put not
their candle under bushel, but who
advertise in large letters in the news
papers, are the ones who get all the
trade. Their stores are crowded with
customers, because they tell the
world what they have got, and what
they ask for it."-Albert Lea Enter
prise.
The Herman Enterprise is another
of the new papers we welcome to our
exchange table. This is the paper
just started ny Z. w. Randall, of
which +. J. Skinner is editor. 1t Is
an column tolio. The humber be-
fore us is a bright specimen and en-
titles its management to . claim on
the public of Herman and vicinity
| for a continuance of the liberal pat
ronage with which it enters the
| journalistic arena.-Mnrr.s Sun.
Many people are carried away with
the idea that n newspaper looks for
matter with which to "fill up" which
is q mistaken idea. The trouble is
principally what not to put in. The
simple fact that a paper is filled up"
| is not OF so much consequence as the
selection Of such matter, and much
care and judgment is necessary in
selecting matter that will interest
and instruct the Observation-Disclosures
Leader.

Chow dear TO my heart is the boom
we are having, how dear are the
boomers who help it along! Who
sing of improvement, and rustling
and paving, while hundreds of voices
join in with the song. The kicker
must vanish, the loafers must perish;
the crauks and the croakers must all
amble down, and we will encourage
and fondle, and cherish those long
headed boomers, those progressive
boomers, those freehanded boomers
who brace up the town."-Atchison
Globe.

Mr.. Charles P. Maginnis, mayor of
Morris, who now goes to Duluth as a
federal office-holder, is the hero of
the late Rio railroad dlsaster-aibrave,
resolute man. 1t was he who saved
Mrs. Schuett's children from the
burning cars, and at the risk of his
own life attempted to save her, and
did not desist until the flames drove
him back. He worked so vailantly
for others that he lost all Of his own
effects. Bishop Whipple paid him
high compliments for his heroism.
Salute. Mr.. Maginnis.-PfOneer Press.
